Dr. Shreya Mukherjee is a materials scientist specializing in the microstructural engineering of advanced structural alloys, with particular expertise in high-entropy alloys and superalloys. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of North Texas and will join the University of Birmingham as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in August 2026.
Her research focuses on mechanical behavior, with particular emphasis on deformation mechanisms, fatigue, and interface-driven strengthening in metastable systems. She combines extensive mechanical testing with advanced microscopy techniques, including transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography, to elucidate underlying deformation mechanisms. She also has experience in solid-state processing approaches.
Dr. Mukherjee received her Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. She is a recipient of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF 2025, score: 99.4%) and the National Postdoctoral Fellowship (NPDF 2022) from the Government of India, along with several accolades, including the Young Scientist Award (2024).
Her research vision is to advance the design of next-generation structural materials for enhanced performance in extreme environments.
MSCA Fellowship 2026-2028 – RESIST – Resilient BCC Superalloys for Sustainable Technologies
This project aims to develop next-generation BCC-based superalloys by establishing a fundamental understanding of microstructural stability and deformation behavior under extreme conditions. The research integrates advanced characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography, with systematic mechanical evaluation to uncover the relationships between composition, microstructure, and performance. By linking these aspects, the project seeks to establish robust design principles for high-temperature structural materials. The outcomes will contribute to the development of efficient and durable alloys aligned with Europe’s Horizon goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
